From Abiotic Stress to Emerging Environmental Pollutants: Expanding Roles of Melatonin and NO in Plant Defense.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In the current era of industrial expansion, the environmental landscape is characterized by an evolving spectrum of contaminants, exposing plants to new types of stress. Plants are forced to employ defensive strategies to survive these conditions. Melatonin (MT) is an amine signaling molecule involved in plant defense processes. Its protective properties in response to various environmental stressors have recently been intensively studied. Melatonin-mediated growth and defense responses result from a multifaceted signaling architecture that involves a wide range of molecules. Among them, nitric oxide (NO) is a key contributor. This review synthesizes existing knowledge of the MT contributions in mitigating well-established abiotic stresses, particularly in connection with NO signaling, and explores the potential to apply these findings to emerging environmental pollutants, such as microplastics, nanoparticles, and surfactants.
